PathIsNetworkPath function
Determines whether a path string represents a network resource.
Syntax
BOOL PathIsNetworkPath( _In_ LPCTSTR pszPath );
Parameters
- pszPath [in]
-
Type: LPCTSTR
A pointer to a null-terminated string of maximum length MAX_PATH that contains the path.
Return value
Type: BOOL
Returns TRUE if the string represents a network resource, or FALSE otherwise.
Remarks
PathIsNetworkPath interprets the following two types of paths as network paths.
- Paths that begin with two backslash characters (\\) are interpreted as Universal Naming Convention (UNC) paths.
- Paths that begin with a letter followed by a colon (:) are interpreted as a mounted network drive. However, PathIsNetworkPath cannot recognize a network drive mapped to a drive letter through the Microsoft MS-DOS SUBST command or the DefineDosDevice function.
